Classification

Jürgen von Beckerath sets this king in the beginning of the 17th dynasty, as it follows Hans floor, identifies him with ... Sechemre in the Royal Canon of Turin. This name is found on a fragment which was associated with the beginning of the 17th dynasty. Claude Vandersleyen and Christina Geisen arrange it, however, the late 13th dynasty, Kim SB Ryholt other hand, sees him as the second king of the 16th dynasty. He identifies him with king Sechemre ... from Turin Royal Canon, which he sees, however, in this column, ruler of the 16th Dynasty, which Ryholt refers to the 16th dynasty as thebanisch. Recently, there are repeated attempts to put him in the 13th Dynasty, which attempts are based on the stylistic classification of the coffin of his wife. This experiment also relies on unproven assumptions. Therefore, the exact position of the ruler so far remains uncertain.
